Hello

I'm new to harping.  Just got a Hohner Special 20 C 1st part of Feb 2016 and already know the notes and techniques.  I play pucker style and tongue blocking and know how to bend holes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

I'm enjoing it so much and have join a group that holds Jam sessions every Monday.  They can't believe that I've only been playing 3 weeks.

No one believes it except Kim Wilson of course.

Welcome. It's great that you are receiving compliments about your playing at this very early stage, but don't get too cocky when other people get excited - it takes thousands of hours to master the harmonica. As a comparison with your example, people can't believe I've only been playing for nine years!  It sounds like you are off to a good start, I recommend getting an 'A' harmonica next.

You might want to stay away from the 5 draw bend as there is no actual note to be reached there and you could damage the reed by bending it too hard. Try the 6 draw bend instead! 

This site is a good place for you to hone your skills and develop your playing style. I'm looking forward to hearing you play in the jam.
